Have you tried to teach your child grammar and it just isn't sticking? Is it not carrying over into their writing? Fix It! Grammar will help your learner see how grammar works in real-life application, and they will become confident self editors in the process. Using Fix It! Grammar Book 1, The Nose Tree (3rd Edition) we will work together to learn, fix, discuss, and copy sentences from the story The Nose Tree. As a class, we work together to complete Day 1 of each week. When a new concept is introduced, your learner will learn cleaver ways to remember what has been taught in class. Working independently, learners will complete Day 2, Day 3, and Day 4 for each week. Questions from the previous week's work will be answered during the next class time. Answers to the assigned homework will be posted on the classroom wall where students can self-correct their work. Parents are welcome to assist their child with homework. (IEW's philosophy is you can never help your child too much, so please help as much as you see fit in order to see your child succeed in class.) When the learner has completed all 33 weeks of Fix It! Grammar, The Nose Tree, they will have handwritten the entire story The Nose Tree and learned 132 vocabulary words. Week 1 Indent, Nouns, Homophones, End Marks Week 2 Articles (a, an, the) Week 3 Quotations Week 4 Which Clause Week 5 Who Clause Week 6 Who Clause Week 7 Action Verbs Week 8 Strong Verbs Week 9 Apostrophes Week 10 Helping Verbs Week 11 Apostrophes with Contractions Week 12 Indention When Starting New Paragraphs Week 13 Homophones and End Marks Week 14 Adjectives Week 15 Quality Adjective Dress-Up Week 16 Capitals and Contractions

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am a veteran homeschooling mama with over 20 years experience. While my first two children were typical learners with no learning struggles, my youngest son introduced me to an entirely new world of education when he was diagnosed with a handful of specific learning disabilities in the first grade. Because services were impossible to find in our rural area, I decided I'd do whatever it took to help him learn in a way that made sense to his brain.
From 2017- 2018, I attended Dyslexia Training Institute and became a certified Orton-Gillingham practitioner. Two years prior to certification, I was trained and volunteered at Dyslexia Reading Solutions for Children in Moline, Illinois. Since that time I've been trained by Handwriting Without Tears to teach print and cursive, and I am an accredited Registered Instructor with Institute for Excellence in Writing. Recently I became Level 1 certified with Equipping Minds, a cognitive therapy method. Each and every class, training, or certification I have obtained fulfills a passion I have to help my son (and other kids just like him) to reach his highest potential in a way he can learn.
Starting in 2012, I have taught for homeschool co-ops in both paid and unpaid positions teaching everything from science, art, English, phonemic awareness, phonics, cursive, handwriting, history, geography, writing, to music. After receiving my OG certification, I opened a private practice, seeing students one-on-one for dyslexia tutoring both in person and online.
Outschool is just another avenue I can use to help students realize they can love learning when they are taught in a way that makes sense to them. I'm extremely passionate about what I do and how I do it. I'm a firm believer in I Do, We Do, You Do teaching style and strive to model it in all my interactions with learners. I'd love to see your child in one of my classes!Reviews
